Get off my lawn you kiddos are yer Arduboys!
Got my Arduboy yesterday.
Honestly, while I enjoyed my gamebuino the 2.5 months it managed to stay alive (with excruciating pain... always had to press the screen in 1 or 2 corners to see anything, changed the screen to no avail, cracked the transparent case because of pressing) the Arduboy does not play in the same category.
Cons: it has no SD-Card support and no SPI breakouts.
Pros: it's solid, it's gorgeous, it's stable, it works (!) ok, it worked flawlessly the last 24 hours, time will tell
But the workmanship, oh, the workmanship
did I say the device is gorgeous?
To sum-up: HUGE feeling of solidity and durability, unlike the gamebuino I felt would crumble in my hands at any moment.
Sorry, not a troll post, this is just to give real feedback to Drakker from a guy who had the 2 devices in hand.
